I don’t have too much to say right now, really I am concentrating on school, doing well and running a successful pre-med society, and lemme tell ya, I lack the ability to get the people I am working with to get off their asses. I have one person who has actually done what I asked [...]

The best free palm software ever.


I have a year off coming up soon.
I haven’t quite decided to do with it yet.
I was thinking of working on an EMT program.

Ambulance monkey.


I love my dog.
He is by far the weirdest little dog I have ever seen.
Currently he is chasing his left back foot, not his tail, his foot, he can catch his tail, the foot, however seems to have some extra specialness due to its constant vertical and horizontal movement.
He barks at a mocking bird that [...]
